"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"Data Services' best features are its robustness and plug-and-play integration with other SAP applications."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"We need more documentation."

"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"The interface is not quite user-friendly and is in need of improvement."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
